News that does not make sense

Yesterday in the news specifically ESPN, I watched as Magic Johnson addressed the fact that 20 years ago he spoke to the public about how he was diagnosed with HIV. Now I am in no way criticizing the fact that this man has aids but how is this relevant to anything. I could understand if he had died twenty years ago but the fact that they have a 20th anniversary of him proclaiming the matter baffles me. News today tends to cover some really stupid stories that later end up on Leno or the daily show. Stories like what celebrities name there babies and what clothes they decide to put on for the day is not news and I do not see how normal people find this entertaining or relevant. News should be reporting us on important news like how this nation is on the brink of economic collapse, or how Europe might see the same collapse. Nobody realizes how important these issues are and how they can severely effect people around the world. So for those 99% of people who are obsessed with celebrity and social news you need to start focusing on the real matters at hand.
